Production order status reset (from code vs. form)

Recently I had the need to change the status of an order back to "Created" programmatically. I found lots of blogs about how to go forward with the status, but going back was hard to find. Here's what I ended up doing. I wrote a class with 3 methods. A classdeclaration() with a prodid variable (used below), a parmProdId method and the following method:

boolean resetStatusToCreated
{
    ProdMultiStatusDecrease  prodMultiStatusDecrease;
    ProdParmStatusDecrease   prodParmStatusDecrease;
    ProdTable               prodTable;
    Args                    args = new Args();
    ;
    select prodTable where prodTable.ProdId == prodID;
    args.record(prodTable);
   
    prodParmStatusDecrease.clear();
    prodParmStatusDecrease.initFromProdTable(prodTable);
    prodParmStatusDecrease.WantedStatus = ProdStatus::Created;
    prodParmStatusDecrease.ParmId = NumberSeq::newGetNum(CompanyInfo::numRefParmId()).num();
    prodParmStatusDecrease.insert();

    prodMultiStatusDecrease = prodMultiStatusDecrease::construct(args);
    prodMultiStatusDecrease.initParmBuffer(prodParmStatusDecrease);
    prodMultiStatusDecrease.parmId(prodParmStatusDecrease.ParmId);
    prodMultiStatusDecrease.run();
   
    select prodTable where prodTable.ProdId == prodId;
    if(prodTable.ProdStatus == prodStatus::Created)
    {
        return true;
    }
    return false;

It seems to have worked. I just have to verify that everything was reversed properly. Testing the code is as easy as doing this:

    ResetProdStatusClass = new ResetClass();
    ResetProdStatusClass.parmProdId('WO000001');
    ResetProdStatusClass.resetStatusToCreated();

I specifically needed to take it back to the Created status, but I imagine you could modify this to pass in the status you wanted it reset to and set it in the WantedStatus field.

Good luck!
